mac, desktop lighroom app.

select multiple photos

photo -> edit date & time

"1 photo" shown in upper right and clicking change will only change that photos time, intead of all photos

Correct answer JohanElzenga

Do you mean you see "1 photo" in the red circle, even when multiple photos are selected? As you can see in my screenshot, I can't reproduce that on my Mac. Do make sure you are in grid view however. If you are viewing only one photo, then indeed only that one photo will be changed. That is by design, to avoid mistakes because you may not realise you still have multiple photos selected.

Thank you! It was because I hadn't selected grid view, I was in detail view. It's weird that I can perform other actions on multiple images in this view but not change time. Appreciate the help.
